it has been a long day... and i'm tired but i found this hilarious.
i got an email earlier today and it said:
"Hi (me),
(person) will be forwarding these art files to you, as for some reason I don't have a hard drive. "
sigh...

dopepope, I actually have to do that with clients and sub-contractors quite a bit. Some people are fucking lazy at returning a simple email.
- dopepope0
yeah I guess it makes sense, but to us it's funny.

In fact I think I'm going to have to ring someone right now...

my CD doesn't know how to fill a selection with a background colour.
i shit you not
- dopepope0
We have a client that thinks when you pdf an image it enhances the color.
- -sputnik-0
one client can only send an image in a word document file.

delicious
- dopepope0
But he insists on having all future images PDF'd as to ensure the color enhancement. IT DOES NOTHING!!!! But he swears it does. It's tantamount to superstition.

well at least you know how he likes it. if all it took was making a PDF for my clients. shit. life would be easy.
instead mine want me to bring a 200 pd paste up board project.

--------HAHA! I get into that exact discussion about once a month...
- mayo0
Then, Point5, do they go on saying "and I don't understand it, because i *know* how to use Adobe." ?
- mayo0
Oh, i forgot, I recently got this one:
Client: can i get these files you sent on cd as jpegs, as well?
me: I sent you all of them in tiff, jpeg and eps form, just in case.
Client: How can I tell which one is which?
me: By the three letters after the period in the title.
Client: So this one that reads "WomanOnPhone.jpg" is a jpeg?
Mind you, she said "jpeg" when she read the title, not "dot-j-p-g"

This woman keeps sending me corrupt word files with about 2 sentences in. It displays as jumbled ASCII that I can generally salvage. Anyway. I keep telling her just to copy and paste the text into the email so I don't have to fuck around with it - but she keeps sending the fucking file to try "one more time". Then she sends me another email asking for my fax number so she can fax it...........
Round and round we go... Drives me fucking nuts.
Every fucking month, for the same 2 paragraph update.
